The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-10-12

Mr.. Cleveland stepped down, and. standing
aside, allowed the Mayor TO aid Mrs Cleveland
TO alight. The President and Mr.. Bissell were
the first to start They walked, or, rather, ran
to the carriage in waiting, followed closely by
Mayor Roche and Mrs. Cleveland. The crowd
closed in on the last two, and for the moment
Mrs. Cleveland was as one OF them. She was
crushed in between the lines rather ruthlessly.
But she took IL good-naturedly, and her trinity
encased elbows were used with astonishingly
good effect in prying open a lane. Postmaster
General Villas, j. w. Doane, Collector Seeberger,
Congressman Lawler and Durham, Commits
sioner Donnersberger, Judge Gresham, Erskine
NJ Phelps and Nj. w. Fuller scrambled TO
their carriages in the order named as best
they could The. crowd paid no attention TO
them. The United States cavalry troops, a
soldierly appearing set Of men, broke into two
phalanxes one in advance of Clevelands equip
age. the other bringing up the rear Of it. When
President Cleveland struck the reception at
the depot, he saw this was q good-siZed, noisy
village but when the Presidential four-in- hand,
after brisk trot up Michigan avenue from
Thirty-fifth street, reached Twenty-fourth
street, the head OF the column, he is believed
to have remarked 70 Mayor Roche, MAYOR
Roche from what Ihave seen thus far to-day,
and calculate for the rest of the march should
infer Chicago had about 100000 inhabitants
1t is believed Mayor Roche said il had.
The distinguished guests were driven rapidly
east on Twenty-fourth street to Michigan
avenue, and thence northward on that thorough
fare. The broad asphalt roadway of Michigan
avenue was encroached upon by hundreds OF
sightseers, in spite of the efforts of city and
OF the second division drawn up in front Of the
sidewalks awaiting the marching by OF the first
division and the order TO fall into line. As the
Chief Marshal and his aids approached on a
gallop there was a tumultuous scurrying of
the crowd for both sides of the street, and then
came on Troop / OF the First United States Cav
airy, the pavement of tho broad and beautiful
avenue resounding to the tramp of their horses
hoofs The men, sitting firmly and erect, kept
their horses aligned, and looked like -trampling
the pride" of any rash pedestrian who would
cross their path.
A cheer from tens OF thousands of throats
rent the air and swelled and echoed northward
along the avenue, while handkerchiefs and
starry flags by the hundred and the thousand
fiuttered and waved from windows and house
tops and the Presidents carriage drove in view.
1t was drawn by four horses spirited and
prancing. with positions, and contained, be-
sides President Cleveland and his wife Post
master General Villas and Mayor Roche. The
President sat in the rear seat with his head
uncovered and at his left was -the first lady of
the land" There was n gratihed and self
complacent look on his face. and proud but
restrained smile added interest and kindliness
20 her handsome and expressive face. Both,
however looked q little travel-worn but the
brightness and heartness OF the scene re-
hected it's tones in their faces.
Following the Presidents carriage came one
which attracted an interest only second to that
which rested upon his own. This contained
